I exchanged my UE Boom for the Bose SoundLink III today and was just stunned by the sound quality. The bass is clear, crisp and quite substantial for the size of the unit. Definitely well worth the price difference (versus the UE Boom).

What a great piece of equipment, a lot better than expected, great volume control for a large patio and entertainment with really good clarity, very satisfied and JB wifi delivered to my home within 2 days. Fantastic.

Having both I can make an informed review. Simply the SLIII is the better of the two but not necessarily the better choice. The mini has an amazing output and quality of sound for such a small speaker. This is the speaker that you want if mobility is important to you.

I bought this speaker for my outside space because I has having a hard time finding wireless speakers that I liked and fit my setup needs. When I received it, I immediately charged it up and went outside. The sound is a quality, clear, rich sound at all volume levels.

Easy To Set Up; Powerful; quality sound

Rich, warm with an abundance of bass – these are the hallmarks of the Bose SoundLink III's sound.

Ample; deep bass; Strong vocal performance; Weighty sound; Goes loud comfortably; Excellent build; Usability

Needs more subtlety and clarity; Booming bass overpowers everything else

I absolutely love my birthday present to me... The clarity of sound is amazing, something you would expect anyway from Bose. When I first saw it I thought it would not be powerful enough for what I wanted it for.. how wrong was I. This will not disappoint.

Good overall sound, with some limitations. Both professional testers and owners say the SoundLink III produces room-filling sound, with plenty of bass. Professional reviewers note that Bose has "tweaked" the sound signature slightly from previous versions, tilting it more toward the low end.

Excellent sound quality; Long battery life; Easy Bluetooth pairing; Attractive design

Few features; Battery cannot be replaced by user

The Bose SoundLink 3 surpasses its predecessor in nearly every way, but the price tag might put it out of reach for some music lovers.

Excellent sound quality; Almost double the battery life of the SoundLink 2; Louder than the SoundLink 2

Only charges via AC adapter; Pricey

Bose SoundLink Bluetooth speakers are among the most popular -- if not, the most popular -- portable wireless speakers in terms of sales. Last year, the company launched the impressive $200 SoundLink Mini , a micro model, and now in early 2014, it's revamped its larger portable Bluetooth speaker ,...

The, sounds great for a compact Bluetooth speaker, playing louder than its predecessor and offering much better battery life; It also has a sleek and sturdy design, an auxiliary input, and the option to swap out protective covers (sold separately)

The speaker is pricey and has no speakerphone capabilities; requires dedicated AC adapter for charging (doesn't charge via Micro-USB)

This little device is much more heavy than one would think by looking at it. But, the extra weight must be how they get the awesome sound and deep bass! It is our go-to speaker for jamming around the house and the Bluetooth makes it compatible with iOS and Android devices!
